Yes all those will have noise. There are others that refer to themselves as "silent running". I have many of them, and they are very quiet.

Hello Again,
  The E-Z Command Controller comes with a wall power supply that has a 16vAC 1000mA (16vA) OUTPUT. This will easily run 3 to 5 engines (depending on engines used). My question is; Can I replace the wall supply with a 16vAC 2000mA OUTPUT to run more engines? Or will this harm the controller?
  If that wont work, then is a "Booster" my only option? Also does a Booster give it's output based on an input FROM the original power-pack + E-Z Controller "Package"? Or does it replace the original wall supply??
  Perhaps 2 power districts run from 2 E-Z Command units, that operate in tandem??

  "The Bachmann" or "Yardmaster" might want to ring-in on this one.

Thanks Always,
Kelly

All you had to do is look at the FAQ page. Take time to read all the documents in the EZ Command page.

No Thankyou!,
Humans...more real and MORE info.

AHH HAAAHAA HE HE HE HOHO HE HEE.....

   Oops... I forgot I was posting!

TOOO Much Fun, Thanx,
Kelly

Thank you Jim... I have, per my last post, submitted myself to getting a booster.

   The "phase" was in huge doubt, as I also mentioned. Even when conceptualizing in my mind, 2 E-Zs, I figured there would indeed be some unwanted forces. I did however think that, with phase aside, that one can go to another because, "you CAN chose address, set some nominal range on the dial and AFTER that, put my engine on the track"... and it works correctly. As if it just rolled off a diff. track, onto another. Giving creadence to my thought patern. Again phase aside.

   I would not even consider reverse engineering anyones products... And NOBODY better reverse engineer any of my products presently on the market!!

   Making my own is not as practical as buying one either! It's out there and affordable. I WILL soon be the owner of someone's gleaming new booster!!

Kelly

Jim...I'm already 6'4", are you stretching my leg? Or is that their scheam?

   Either way, it tickled my giggle.

Thanks, Gimme More,
Kelly

rangerover... I since a very strong, suggestive, and very cerebral concept that I should, GET THE BOOSTER!.......Welll...I agree!
  The specs. look perfect for the applcation. I'm sure that would run 8 stiff locos.
  Thanks for everyones input.
  I'm still not worried about the CVs.

Kelly

 Yes 

   Thanks for the input.

   Isn't this more fun than discusing radii?

   jettrainfan mentioned "Peach fuzz is a BNSF unit". Is that just the colour, or is it their "scheam line" name?

Too Cool,
Kelly

Thank You

Kelly

Thanks D & rover,

  Well, I was pretty sure a higher current thru the E-Z would not work.

  Will the booster mentioned have as tall (volts) square wave as the E-Z alone?

  I've heard, VERY recently on this site, that some other systems don't put out as "tall" (Volts) of a square wave as the E-Z. Resulting in slower speed. I don't run at constant high speeds, of course, but don't want a slower system either!

  The cv's I can alter on other's sets.

  Can you think of any reason why I could not use 2 power districts, with 2 E-Zs used in tandem? They could cross into another district and just carry on, as long as I run the E-Zs in true tandem.

  I'm an electronic design engineer, and can't find any "bites" there...but there are some unknowns, until I try it. Like phase, etc.

  Engineers like me thrive on unknowns. I think that's what makes me curious.

Thanks,
Kelly

rogertra...

I can't wait until YOU have a question.

Kelly

1)  If you think I'm rude, tough.

2) What possible questions would I ask on this board? 

But I ask again... WHY ARE YOU HERE??
You have no respect, and you have no friends here... GO AWAY FREA#

i heard that sp switcher scheme called "tiger stripe" and santa fe's old black and silver scheme called "zebra stripe"......

j...Cool. I believe you are right about "Tiger Stripe" being that paint. Although Blink_182_Fan mentioned, "Canadian National has the 'Zebra Stripe' scheme".
   I know not, which Road actually claims "Zebra Stripe".
   Who then claims the "Safety First" scheam?

Looovin' It, Gimme More,
Kelly

rogertra...
   First of all EVERYTHING in the world IS on Google. Why should he wade thru an ocean to get a drink of water.
   YOU ARE RUDE!!
   When I need a new tire for my car, I do not go on Google to find out the history of the circle,...I go to a tire store, where they are focused on my need and are real live people.
   I ask again...Why are YOU here??
   If I am going to learn a new computer program, and sixty people in my office already know the program's ins and outs, I do not wade thru six hundred pages of instructions. I ask a real person and get a quick and meaningful answer.
   I can't wait until YOU have a question.

Kelly

Yeess!

  This is far more fun tan arguing about,...well, anything!

  I have all the SP scheams that I originally mentioned. I also have both "War Bonnet" A+B and "Blue Bonnet" from ATSF.

  jettrainfan mentions ("CSX YN3, also known as "dark future" paint has a yellow nose, yellow lettering and the rest of the body is blue.")

  There is also a "Bright Future" from CSX. I wonder what there thinking was, to name their trains "Dark Future"? Were they worried about their future existence? Seems kind of meccabe, or dark...punintentional.

"Fireball", & "Horse Head" & "Cicus"... I love it. This gives us all a more connected feeling with the "Railroad's" themselves. Brings personality to our models, and gave me something FUN to write about.

  Okay, let's not stop now! I know there are more. I am not sure but I think the SP scheam on Backmann's NEWLY offered "Alco S4 Diesel" is called "Safety First"

Laughs,
Kelly

Hello all,
  Here is a fun question; What are some of the "paint scheam" names from different railroads.
  I am a BIGTIME Southern Pacific fan, and enjoy the diff names. Some examples are; The Bloody Nose, Black Widow, Pumpkin, and "The Worlds Most Beautiful Train" The Daylight.
  These are, of course, all SP. Please share any others, any railroad.

Just For Fun,
Kelly
